The Chinese Embassy in Mexico issued a statement condemning the nature of the performances by Shen Yun Performing Arts, scheduled to take place at the National Auditorium in Mexico City during April and May of this year. The diplomatic mission asserted that the show is linked to the Falun Gong sect and urged the public not to attend, calling it anti-Chinese propaganda.
In a statement released on social media, the embassy noted that Falun Gong was banned by the Chinese government in 1999 and labeled it a cult-like organization. It asserted that the Shen Yun performance is not merely a cultural presentation, but rather part of a strategy to spread political messages and expand the movement’s influence.
The document also states that in recent years various international media outlets have reported criticisms and complaints related to the internal workings of the artistic company, including accusations of labor exploitation, mistreatment of minors and control over its members , situations that some former members have brought against the organization.
Ahead of the upcoming performances in Mexico, the embassy called on the public to distinguish between traditional Chinese culture and what it considers expressions linked to Falun Gong. It also stated that it will continue working with various sectors in Mexico to strengthen bilateral relations and, as it indicated, prevent the spread of what it describes as sectarian organizations.

this conversation basically followed this structure: "falun gong /shen yun is us backed anti china propaganda" "well i hate china, why don't you point out their propaganda? if you don't do it i believe the us sanctioned narrative"
like ok bro. you dismiss facts and move the goalpost for some idealist reason. then you proceed to call me a paid propagandist despite the fact i only adressed deliberate anti-chinese propaganda without giving any opinion on china.
it may surprise you that i deem china imperialist and not as something that should be unconditionally supported.
I don’t hate China specifically. I hate all countries who have billionaires. I also disbelieve that a country that allows billionaires to exist is only a victim of global propaganda and that it doesn’t engage in it.
So this isn’t a goal post. It’s a prerequisite for me considering your opinion. If you know enough about propaganda to tell me what’s fake, then you know enough to tell me what’s real. Otherwise you’re regurgitating the propaganda fed to you because you want to believe it.
No country in the world is perfect. To say one of them is just shows you’re either a simp or an idiot. Is that you?
